Calif car wash company sued by feds

SANTA ANA, Calif. 
The U.S. Department of Labor has sued a California car wash company that is accused of repeatedly failing to pay its employees for all of the hours they worked.

The suit was filed recently in federal court against Santa Ana-based Z&H Happy Hands Corp. The filing asks a judge to award minimum wage and overtime compensation as well as other damages.

Federal officials said Tuesday the carwash company manipulated a timekeeping program to show employees worked fewer hours than they actually had. They added most employees worked more than 40 hours a week but earned less than $3.50 an hour.
